A suspected burglar was caught on camera taking a break to pet a friendly golden retriever before fleeing a California home with a bike.

In the video, we see a burglar leaving a garage with a bike valued at approximately $1,300 when the homeowner’s dog approaches him. He greets the dog, wheels the bike back into the garage to pet the dog, expresses his fondness, and questions the dog’s owner. Worried the dog might follow, he calls for “dad,” potentially risking capture. After more interaction, he takes the bike and leaves slowly, with the dog watching happily. CBS News reports the bike and burglar are still missing.
